Polystromomyces Mongkolsamrit, Noisripoom, Sakolrak & Himaman
gen. nov.
Type species.
Polystromomyces araneae
Mongkolsamrit, Noisripoom, Sakolrak & Himaman.
Etymology.
From Latin
"poly"
(many), referring to many stromata of the fungus on the host.
Description.
Sexual morph:
Stromata
stipitate, multiple, pale yellow mycelium covering the host.
Stipes
arising from spider egg sac, cylindrical at the base, slightly enlarged midway to the terminal end of the stipe below the fertile head.
Fertile heads
produce at the terminal stipes, disc-shaped, upper surface slightly convex.
Perithecia
completely immersed, ovoid.
Asci
cylindrical.
Ascospores
hyaline, filiform, disarticulating into part-spores. Colony on PDA and OA, white, producing microcycle conidiation.
Notes.
Polystromomyces
contains a new species,
Po. araneae
. It shares similarity with species in
Hevansia
in producing multiple stipes with fertile heads at the apex. This specimen is found on a spider egg sac (
Araneae
) attached to the underside of a dicot leaf. There is no record of the asexual morph on the specimen.
